Senegal's Iliman Ndiaye has 'no intention' of leaving Everton for Saudi Arabia
The 26-year-old Ndiaye still has huge ambitions to fulfill in his career in Europe, including winning the Ballon d'Or award, according to Abdoulaye, while also helping his country to more glory.
"Many people called me to tell me that Iliman was going to leave. But rest assured, he will not go anywhere," Abdoulaye said on wiwsport.
"I even teased him with a few words in Arabic and we laughed about it. He told me that he had no intention of going to Saudi Arabia.
"He still has projects. He knows that he must continue to work more. Senegal needs him, just as he needs Senegal. Everything he does today, he also does for his country.
"He knows he could earn a lot of money over there, but he also thinks his form might dip. He's not the sort to prioritise money at the expense of his career.
"His fight is to win another Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, win the World Cup and one day become Ballon d'Or. That's what motivates him today."
